The Garden in the Hood Rebecca Crosdale

The author begins this tale by taking us to this garden in the spring and carries us through each season to the closing in winter. The author describes for us the lush beauty of this garden uncommonly found among the debris of rural life and gives us a delightful feeling of actually being there as the flowers, birds, sky, and breeze are all given vivid descriptions which rival the most luxurious gardens of country landscapes. Playful animals are seen to frequent this garden during spring and summer months and each fills the author's pen with its activity.
